Every day there’s a new sexual abuse scandal among celebrities & #BBC presenters: #Brand #Williams #Saville #HuwEdwards #Schofield …But no one wants to discuss celebrity culture or any other cultural aspect, just bad apples. Imagine if these were black or brown TV personalities!

Colonialism is worse than racism. The products of narcissistic, self-obsessed, navel-gazing, racist cultures have no insight into themselves or the rest of the world.

Your “urban” is classist & racist! Cramming working class students in motorway service station-like buildings, while rich, white ones have green campuses & open spaces, is as ugly as your austerity. You created a #colonial divide & assumed the mantle of the #coloniser! #Urban!

I went to order Jason Arday’s memoirs this morning and was met by the below. This is in poor taste and entirely inappropriate.

#US imperialism is comical & pathetic at this stage 😂 If the white supremacist MAGA administration is going after HR departments in small institutions to support its lil racist supporters, it’ll put respectable organisations off employing US citizens altogether.
The United States Mission to Belgium condemns, in the strongest terms, Ghent University’s retaliation against an American scholar following his accurate whistleblower reporting on academic fraud.
The United States government regularly funds and supports research, academic exchanges, and other engagements with overseas universities. Dishonest, corrupt institutions that engage in, or reward, scapegoating mob behavior are not desirable partners for us. This is particularly true where the purpose and effect of the scapegoating is to punish accurate journalism unearthing academic dishonesty. We are therefore reviewing any relationships we have with Ghent University.
Bad-faith idealogues will try to make this a referendum on the content of Cofnas’s scholarship – or polemical distortions of it. That’s wrong. Free speech means that controversial views are protected. And Cofnas’s views were known to Ghent University when he was hired.
The ultimate purpose of freedom of speech is to overturn lies, fraud, and false ideologies. This is precisely what Cofnas was doing, and precisely the reason his home institution wants to silence him.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

“Black grifter chic”?! Racist nonsense in The Times @thetimes that does not even make sense, given the diversity of African & black cultures & historical experiences, written by none other than Sir Trevor Phillips OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire).
The Times, our most dishonest newspaper, is quietly rewriting the history of its contemptible coverage of Professor Jason Arday.
There’s a rich and rather horrible irony in the fact of a newspaper, which reprehensibly suggests that being dishonest is inherent in Blackness, itself being caught out in dishonesty.
Please share.

Has anyone heard from the Leader of His Majesty’s Official Opposition on the #JasonArday affair?! She tends to weigh in on culture war controversies… Not like her to remain quiet. Did she comment on the media conduct over the past two weeks or so?!

Watch the usual suspects froth at the mouth while attacking disciplines at which girls & women excel and calling for an end to HE & any pretence to equality. The right wing media will try to be cunning in their #misogyny, ignorance & nostalgia for deeper hierarchies & oppression!
